My friend had a KitchenAid mixer they barely used so they gave it to me for a price I couldn't refuse. Well since getting it I've made and baked more things than I ever have in my life and I've only had it for a couple of weeks.

I just wanted to make this post as a way to introduce myself to the community and to say that I'm excited to continue experimenting with this fun kitchen tool

Happy baking 😋

    A KitchenAid and The Great British Baking Show are a dangerous combination I’ve heard.

  8. mangoladyy

    looks so good, OP! this is why i’m hesitant on getting one! these hips cannot handle a lot of baked goods 🥲

    The kitchen aid is like having an extra pair of hands that don’t tire. Dough hook, whisk attachment are epic

    I laugh in the face of “softened butter” in cookie recipes

  12. Ragingirishman1969

    You are killing it. Hope to see more of your baking.

    Same I got one for my birthday this year and I’ve made so many batches of cookies my husband said I’m trying to make him fat 🤣 It’s awesome!

  14. bluesparrow09

    Oh those cookies look scrumptious!!

  15. quietbubbles_

    Wow, everything looks amazing, especially the second cake 😍 having a KitchenAid is so fun, I just need more people to offload the bakes to 😄

  16. pipsqueakpanda4

    Those cookies look DELICIOUS, I want one so bad

    It is amazing how nice it to work with good tools! Have fun and keep posting. I will enjoy sharing in your journey.

  18. sohcordohc

    Yes! Keep baking!! Glad it unlocked the super powers in you!

    A KitchenAid is a total game changer! Looks like you’re already putting it to good use!

  20. Old-Lawfulness2173

    I’m so happy for you! I started baking out the wazoo when I was gifted mine one Christmas. It really does unlock something within yourself.

  21. Persephone235

    Everything looks delightful! Hope you have an awesome time baking OP!

  22. Fit_Masterpiece4830

    I really love that you shared this sentiment. It is inspiring. Love this for you!

  23. Rockout2112

    Gratz! A stand mixer opens up whole new worlds of baking! Have a great time.

    I was given my first Kitchen Aid and slowly started getting into baking over 20 years ago. This past year my husband got me an 8 quart Kitchen Aid mixer and I am really loving it! I can double recipes. Had to give my old one away so my niece got it. Now I’m eyeing up my mom’s, she is getting ready to move into an assisted living place and will not need it. Just have to find a good hiding place from my husband. 😎 I know I’ll justify it come Christmas when I’m cranking away in the kitchen.

    What is the cake in pic 2 called? Everything looks amazing 😍

  26. tomviolence_86

    it’s a real thing! i love mine, and have done so much I thought I never would prior. happy baking!

  27. whattheshmuck_

    And now you don’t know how to act

  28. Meowmers246

    You’re doing it!! Everything looks delicious!!

  29. -CommanderShepardN7

    You’re a machine!!!!! I tip my hat to you. 😌

  30. cannonball_ky

    Those all look delicious! It’s my dream to have a kitchenaid mixer—my mom has promised hers to me after she’s gone, but I’d prefer to have both her AND a mixer

  31. Glad to see you getting your money’s worth out of your new KitchenAid!!

  32. Ides_of_Meh

    The underlit mixer in pic five looks like it’s ominously throwing back its head and cackling.

  33. Expensive-Message-66

    I use it for EVERYTHING. I used to hate cooking because of hand mixers and the hassle of cleaning the spinners and getting tangled up in cords. I use it probably everyday if not multiple times a day! Definitely the best investment someone could make if they love to cook/bake 🙂

  34. orangepaperlantern

    Is that like a cookie dough cake?

  35. lapinatanegra

    I finally used it to shred chicken!! Gawd such a game changer lol.

  36. hamletgoessafari

    I like making cake so much more now because the mixer makes beautiful, smooth buttercream every time.

    Gas range cant hurt. How many metal bowls do you have?
